Another alternative would be to just clean, re-gasket, paint & detail the engine as a display. Sure, it's not a Hemi, but it's sentimental, and would still be pretty cool as a display. I'm assuming it's just your Dad's engine you have, not the whole car. If I were to find my Dad's old Sport Fury, I'd want it how I remember it (stock), except maybe a more modern brake system.

I often wonder if on the brand x boards if the same thing happens when a 305 is mentioned. Just build a 350!!!! Or I’m building a 302. Just build a 351!!! Actually, the 305 is a generally reviled POS even by the Chevy guys and yeah, they'll tell you to build something else. As for the 302, that one depends. In a lot of applications wedging in a 351 is nigh on impossible, so the 302 get the nod because it has a shorter deck and fits better, but they'll stroke it to 347 or bigger in a heart beat. But if there's room, a 351 get's the nod. It costs virtually the same to build either the 318 or the 360 and it's foolish to go with the 318 unless you have an otherwise compelling reason.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

Can we talk you into finding a 360 block & stroking it (4" cranks are cheap nowadays) & the KB 356 (iirc) pistons ain't too bad. NOBODY that I have even spoken with that has stroked one has regretted the reasonable time/expense it takes to do one. You get alot of cubes (408) in a SB package. You have a bit invested in the 318 but I dont think you will get what you are seeking from it & once the 408 fries the tires one time you will forget all about that 318! 408,408,408. Man do I get tired of hearing this. Do you know how many 408 my kid runs faster than every week with a stock crank 360. LMAO. Oh and its 3200 pound too.
